we found carol enjoying the sand of bethany beach. she is spending her first off- season living here. for her, talk of a perfect storm is upsetting. >> i love that the way it is. i hate to see it disappear. >> she remembers the scenes from a hurricane turned nor'easter in november to 009. -- 2009. it virtually wiped out the beach and there was widespread flooding from the bay side as the high wind pushed the high tide at inland. it took more than two years to rebuild the beach and sand dunes. tonight, there was fear it would happen again. this person is running a boardwalk toy store for the weekend. that concerns me because i have not been down the beach for any of the storms. we have always been in land more and i will be concern for the stores. >> this person owns for apparel shops. >> concerned that it may do some damage. >> for now, she is hopeful that sandy will take some peach and sand dunes but leave the buildings alone, like the storm she says haoles have. >> -- but the storms always have. >> not once have we had any water dam
